T-Mobile moves to one data plan for everybody.
T-Mobile announced it's latest thing, one data plan for all of it's customers.
The new plan is called T-Mobile One.
Here's how It's marketed.
Seventy bucks per month gets one line with unlimited text, talk and LTE data.
Then again, T-Mobile is still a business.
So here are all the little add-ons.
The fee is only $70 per month if you enroll in autopay.
Without autopay it will cost $75 per month.
Unlimited LTE data also has some restrictions.
Video is streamed over T-Mobile's network at 480p, that's about the same as DVD quality.
If you want to watch HD or 4k video, that will cost another $25 per month.
Tethering is unlimited at 2G speeds, that should be really, really slow.
Five gigabytes of LTE data for tethering costs, $15.
T-Mobile's new ONE plan will be active for new post-paid users starting September 6th.
Current T-Mobile users can keep their old plans or opt into the new plan.
Sprint also introduced a new unlimited plan.
One line costs 60 dollars a month with the Sprint unlimited freedom plan.
Like T-Mobile Sprint's unlimited comes with a few caveats.
Video and music streaming are limited by quality.
Gaming is also limited to two megabits per second.
And that's it for this Tech News update.
